Kerry are boosted by the return of the previously suspended Darragh Ó Sé for Sunday's Bank of Ireland Munster Senior Football Championship opener against Clare in Ennis.
The Gaeltacht star's comeback to midfield sees Eoin Brosnan return to the half-forward line, with Liam Hassett demoted to the bench.
Captain Dara Ó Cinnéide, whose appearance as a substitute during the Allianz National Football League final victory over Galway marked his return from a back injury, has failed to force his way back in the starting XV. Manager Jack O'Connor prefers Johnny Crowley in attack.
Goalkeeper Diarmuid Muphy and defender Aidan O'Mahony will be making their Championship debuts for the Kingdom.
Clare will be without injured duo Philip Smith (knee) and Michael O'Shea (hamstring). Corner-back Kevin Dilleen and forwards Enda Coughlan and Sean O'Meara all earn their first Championship starts.
Kerry SF team v Clare: D Murphy, T O'Sullivan, M McCarthy, A O'Mahony, T Ó Sé, E Fitzmaurice, S Moynihan, D Ó Sé, W Kirby, P Galvin, D O'Sullivan, E Brosnan, C Cooper, J Crowley, MF Russell.
Clare SF team v Kerry: D O'Brien, P Gallagher, C Whelan, K Dilleen, N Griffin, B Considine, R Slattery, David Russell, D O'Sullivan, G Quinlan, Denis Russell, O O'Dwyer, C Mullen, E Coughlan, S O'Meara.
